Express Checks Processing Procedures

From: Janet Rupert, Director, Accounts Payable & Travel Services

The University is committed to the timely payment of its students, employees and suppliers. As such, several procedures are in place to ensure that payment requests are made to meet appropriate deadlines, and — on rare emergency occasions — express checks may be requested by departments to avoid unnecessary hardship due to a delay in payment.

In order to streamline this process, Accounts Payable is now limiting express check requests to a single run per day. To meet this requirement, all express check requests need to be completed and communicated by noon on the day of the request to accountspayable@unc.edu and should be picked up after 3 p.m. the day the request was made.
